<p>The SQL REST API accepts SQL in a JSON document, executes it,
and returns the results.
For example:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-console">
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-console">POST /_sql?format=txt
{
    "query": "SELECT * FROM library ORDER BY page_count DESC LIMIT 5"
}</pre>
</div>
<div class="console_widget" data-snippet="snippets/305.console"></div>
<p>Which returns:</p>
<div class="pre_wrapper lang-text">
<pre class="programlisting prettyprint lang-text">     author      |        name        |  page_count   | release_date

<h3>Using Kibana Console<a id="sql-kibana-console"></a>
</h3>
<p>If you are using <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.7/console-kibana.html" class="ulink" target="_top">Kibana Console</a>
(which is highly recommended), take advantage of the
triple quotes <code class="literal">"""</code> when creating the query. This not only automatically escapes double
quotes (<code class="literal">"</code>) inside the query string but also support multi-line as shown below:
